PROFILE OF THE CHRISTIAN LEADER BASED ON 1 TIMOTHY
A Leader with Excellence
The apostle Paul was the one who wrote this epistle addressed to Timothy, he wrote it shortly
after being released from his imprisonment in Rome, probably around
from the years 63-65 A.D. Paul referred to this young man as 'true son of the faith',
and I sought through this first letter to help the young leader of the church of
Ephesus to better understand its duties. It is then that it is determined the
importance of this epistle in the profile of the Christian leader, exposing points
important that must be put into practice on the path of leadership. This
the first pastoral letter contains advice, guidelines or tips that undoubtedly
they helped the effectiveness of Timothy's ministry.

He gives his testimony as an example and what God did with him despite having been
a seeker of the gospel. Therefore, Paul is a natural leader as he teaches, directs and
guide Timothy on the path of faith, for this young man has it in his essence
much of what is the apostle Paul. The mission of Timothy in Ephesus is clear for
to maintain the sound doctrine, a matter that was difficult in those times.
From chapter two, Pablo is clear about certain criteria that must be met and
what a Christian leader must visibly have, made a call to prayer with
holy hands, without anger or strife, emphasizes the importance of women dressing

What are these personal qualities of a leader, but he goes further and teaches the
importance of a good leader in their family environment, pointing out that they must be good
ruler of his house, with submissive children, being this a true display of what he can

the good testimony, this could be the social area of the servant.
Pablo then left no loose ends and speaks of prayer alluding to the
the leader's intimacy with God, that is to say, his spiritual life, subsequently his
personal, family and social characteristics, which shows that the leader drinks
be whole and complete. But there is something more, and that is the heart of the leader, expresses
clearly this must be pious like that of Jesus.
In chapter 4, when discussing apostasy, the author emphasizes the importance that the
a leader should know and have a clear identity in Christ, so that nothing will make them waver,
to doubt or deviate and thus be able to instruct others in the truth with full
conviction and security. A general thought would be that leadership should
exercising at an older age, but Pablo encourages not to underestimate youth and
to wander in reading, the exhortation and the teaching, keeping the gift alive that
God has granted to his servants.
Something that is key in a leader's profile is their ability to exhort, for this reason
explain that when doing it, a key principle must be taken into account, purity, this allows that
there is credibility and authority in the exhortation, knowing that it must be done with
love and respect; the leader must be support and guidance for the vulnerable, in turn

He finishes this pastoral epistle saying that the doctrine must be taught to us.

A leader is one who knows the way, walks the way, and shows the way.
